Religion
1 Kings 19:10: Like him, in piety's decay
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Like him, in piety's decay
I made my solitary moan.
Thou heard'st Thy desolate servant say,
I, even I am left alone!
But now with open heart and eyes
Thousands I in our Israel see.
Who idols hate, the world despise.
Its god renounce, and follow Thee.
